# \[LEGACY] Reply Actions

{% hint style="danger" %}
While the action blocks below are still available for use in all commands and events, they are considered old and have been replaced by the [Send or Edit a Message](/custom-commands-and-events/actions/message-actions/send-or-edit-a-message.md) action block. We advise you to use the [Send or Edit a Message](/custom-commands-and-events/actions/message-actions/send-or-edit-a-message.md) block instead, which offers more functionalities and possibilities for your message.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you cannot see the blocks below in your actions list, disable the [Hide Legacy Reply Actions](/custom-commands-and-events/command-and-event-builder/advanced-options.md#general) setting.
{% endhint %}
